so that's a wood thrush

Toronto, 2015.09.13

Today I learned what a wood thrush is, by having a dead bird on our balcony to identify. The poor beast had struck a window and died. It's the migratory season, and this is happening all over our ill-placed city. The other morning I saw two dead song birds at street level outside First Canadian Place.
